Supposing you already know how to launch your application maximized to
the full screen so no root background is left visible, here is
~/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc for 2.4.x and 2.5.x versions doing what you want:

  # disable Alt-Tab
  Key Tab A M -

  # disable page scroll
  EdgeScroll 0 0

  # cause test application to stay on top and be borderless
  Style YourAntiStudentJavaApp Layer 10, NoTitle, NoHandles, BorderWidth 0

Replace "YourAntiStudentJavaApp" with a real window name.

If you have problems to start your application fully maximized by
specifying -geometry or similar, then reask again or take a look at the
FAQ question 3.18.

Regards,
Mikhael.
